I spent yesterday in Nevada City and on the Yuba River with my mom, dad, Brendan and boys. It was a beautiful day, sunny and hot with lots of families enjoying the river at Bridgeport celebrating their moms. Funny how we create rituals throughout our lives. I'm pictured here at left with my mom and brother in Big Sur, 39 years ago. I'm sure we had a fabulous picnic prepared by my mom and spent all day sitting in the water having fun. I love the water, always have and love that my boys love the water too. It's soothing and freeing and provides respite from so much. I give thanks today for all I have and all those in my life who love and support me. Can't wait to go jump in the river!

I remember that day as though it was yesterday.
We stayed at Ripplewood cabins and we were by the water most of the day.
You were nursing and it was so great because you were soooo happy.
You did not want to leave and have a nap!!
You were a water baby!!
and Rob is right you look like Harlan in that photo.
You did have a cute hat on but did not want to keep it on.
I love you so much,
MOM
